Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken tenders
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 4-6 whole grain wraps
  • 3 cups arugula
  • 1 jar refrigerated pesto sauce

Instructions

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
  • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil.
  • When the oil is hot (test it with a piece of chicken) add as many as will fit without touching and fry on each side until brown--about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • Working with one wrap at a time, add 2 tenders, 1/2 cup of arugula and 1-2 teaspoons of pesto (or as much as you want).
  • Roll it up, slice it in half and secure it with a toothpick if needed.
  • All ingredients will store in the fridge unassembled for up to 5 days.
